He's not the only one! Why, again & again, can we not see out a game. 😠 #Pompey

Mercedes definitely back. Front row comfortably locked out. Is this the start of an era similar to 2014 - 2020? #F1

Impressive early showing from #Audi. Also, Alonso currently 2.715 secs behind the pace in 16th. Still a big gap but signs of progress from #AstonMartin? Q1 about to resume. #F1

Wow, Max crashes out on his first flying lap! 😲 #F1

Hopefully a precursor to what will happen in the May local elections. 👍 #VoteLabour

The Curse of Fellbrooke Farm; a DnD one-shot for 5e A Dungeons and Dragons one-shot steeped in nature, corruption, mystery and magic.

My son-in-law's latest #DnD project on #Kickstarter looks really impressive. If you love #DungeonsAndDragons, then please take a look. Only 3 days to go so don't miss out.

Is there a single football fan in favour of this? I doubt it 😠

Doubt we can expect much from Aston Martin this weekend. Frustrating for Alonso in particular, but he needs to keep the faith. Newey & Honda is still a 'dream team' and I'm confident they'll be competitive later in the season. #F1

An admission that Aston Martin are likely to struggle this weekend, but they're still a reason why I'll be getting up early Saturday morning to watch qualifying. Hope is they'll exceed expectations in Australia & become fully competitive as the season progresses. #F1

Number 73, Waterlooville Modern cafe bar & restaurant in Waterlooville, combining a vibrant atmosphere and an exciting dining experience with locally supplied wines & a fantastic gin menu & cocktail list.

Had a nice lunch with friends at www.number73bar.co.uk in #Waterlooville today. First time I'd visited and I was impressed with the food, service & general ambiance. Worth a visit if you're in the area. 😀 #Number73 #No73

I was too young to have been aware of Jim Clark's achievements in #F1 & other categories before his untimely death, but from all I've heard and read, he fully deserves his status as a legend of the sport. And of course, he was a two time world champion for #TeamLotus. 🏁🏆

Jim Clark, who won 2 #F1 world championships & 25 F1 GPs from 72 starts & only 49 finishes (for his Lotuses weren’t reliable), & was a quiet man off track & a genius on it, was born #OnThisDay 90 years ago. Pic: Lotus 33, Zandvoort, ’65, taken by Yves Debraine.

A lot of scientists upset at having to do age verification to access their favourite sites? 🤔

4️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ followers! Thank you everyone for your interest. I'm now closing in on the number of followers I had on Twitter (X) before I deleted my account 18 months ago. Glad to say the quality & quantity of engagement on here far exceeds that of Musk's hell site. Thanks again! 😀

No, that's your false narrative. Play back and listen to what the Prime Minister actually said.

Oh, yes, I remember that. Amazing indeed 😁

Two thirds of Britons say the total number of people entering the UK is too high Two in three (67%) Britons believe the total number of people entering the UK is too high, with 43% stating it is "much too high."

Not reflective of my views, but this is the reality of what a majority of the public are thinking 👇

Public opinion on government asylum reforms Following the Home Secretary’s announcements on asylum reform, our polling shows widespread concern about a lack of control over the UK’s borders, and indicates that many government policies are broad...

There's this 'evidence' for a start 👇

"Widespread support for the Home Secretary’s new asylum policies - across the spectrum and with both Labour and Reform voters"

Runners at the start of today's Run-Walk-Local 5k at Hilsea

A very damp Run-Walk-Local 5k at Hilsea this morning! 🌧️💦

I wonder what the odds would have been on every Premier League match today finishing 2-1! 😁

Labour are not trying to compete with Reform. They are addressing immigration concerns held by a majority in the country, but doing so within ECHR constraints. There are many reasons why Labour are unpopular (media bias for one), but a drastic change of course on this issue would not help.

Fortunato breaks world indoor 5000m race walk record in Ancona | REPORT | World Athletics European bronze medallist Francesco Fortunato smashed the long-standing world indoor 5000m race walk record at the Italian Indoor Championships in Ancona, clocking 17:55.65

As a regular 5k runner, it's difficult to comprehend how someone can WALK the distance 4 minutes faster than my personal best running time!! 😲

Hornby sells Scalextric to drinks veteran for £20m Hornby, which is in the middle of a major transformation with the backing of Sports Direct tycoon Mike Ashley, said it was selling the Scalextric to investment group Purbeck Capital Partners.

#Slotcar enthusiasts, what do we make of this news? #Hornby #Scalextric

My argument was to show you the dictionary definition of neoliberalism (the actual opposite of Labour policies!)....but you know that.

Generally I get that, but it was widely reported that Gorton & Denton was likely to be a 3 way fight. Every vote mattered. The FPTP excuse just didn't apply in that by election.

Fair enough if you think Starmer should go, but calling his approach "neoliberalism" is nonsense.

Hull deserved nothing from the game, but they somehow sloped off with 3 points. Unfortunately I've seen so many similar games at Fratton Park over the years, but they don't get any easier to take. ☹️ #Pompey

Because of course, if you have no interest in politics, you won't be affected by decisions that elected representatives make (e.g. tax, public services, benefits, transport, health, etc). Is that really what they're thinking? 🤔

Violence at the polls? Certainly not here in the UK.

Mario Andretti in Lotus 79

Happy 86th birthday to motorsport legend Mario Andretti. You made a 17 year old Team Lotus fan very happy in 1978 when winning the #F1 world championship 🏆🏁😀
